Beagle puppies are 5 weeks ~ Woodinville Seattle AKC

I am a couple of days late on an update as my wonderful husband whisked me away for a little getaway – while were gone, the puppies were left in the care of my in-laws and they did a lovely job looking after them.

The babies are now consistently pooping in the litterbox (yeah) – they are still hit or miss for wee, but I am grateful the poop is contained 🙂  They are running and jumping and rough-housing with each other – and the chewing has begun.   They are almost weaned and eating food 3x a day.

Next week we will continue enrichment introducing them to uneven balance boards, tunnels and things like that.  Our hope is that they will be confident beagles whether in the show ring or with their forever homes.

Beagle puppies are 4 weeks ~ Woodinville Seattle AKC

Today the wee babies turned 4 weeks – a month sure has flown by so fast!

The beagle babies are growing still – their new skills include walking, jumping (and flopping) and wrestling. They have started solids and are starting to wean off Maddy, sleeping 10 hours alone through the night (with not a peep). They are also consistently going poop in the litterbox so that is great for cleanup 🙂

Their latest pictures are here – i think this will be the last set I can do on my own as they are so fast and dont want to stay in one place at all – I’m going to try and recruit my kids to help next week.

Enjoy them xo

Latest weights:

Girl 1 – 3 lb 14.8oz

Girl 2 – 3 lb 15.5oz

Boy 1 – 4 lb 11oz

Boy 2 – 4 lb 1.5oz

The babies are 3 weeks today – they are all a little more mobile and starting to potty themselves so we started introducing the potty training box.  They have used a little so that’s a great start.

They ate food for the first time yesterday – they were a little confused, but I am sure they will start to get the hang of it.

They are growing well – little chunky monkeys 🙂

Girl 1 – 3 lb 2.6oz

Girl 2 – 3lb 3.4 oz

Boy 1 – 3lb 9.3oz

Boy 2 – 3lb 3.6oz

Enjoy these latest pictures of them 🙂

Beagle puppies turn 2 weeks ~ Woodinville Seattle WA AKC Beagle

Maddy’s beagle puppies are 2 weeks today and continuing to thrive. They are getting bigger daily and now all have their eyes open. They are not strong enough to walk yet, but are blobbing around on their bellies.
Current weights are:
Girl 1 2 lb 6.5oz
Girl 2 2 lb 7oz
Boy 1 2 lb 12 oz
Boy 2 2 lb 6.2oz
we are surprised that boy 2 is now the smallest, but with steady growth we aren’t concerned that there is anything wrong. Enjoy their latest pictures 🙂

MRI Health Testing on Arrow ~ the results are in

As you know, health testing is just as important to me (as a breeder) as beauty and temperament.  I take my job as a breeder seriously, and I believe that if I am going to add dogs to the world, I want it to be done so with careful thought.

Cavalier King Charles Spaniels can have issues with SM (Syringomyelia) in their brain.   The only way to detect it is with a MRI.  So Alisha and I decided that we wanted to scan Arrow before we bred her.    We flew her up to the amazing team at Thames Valley Veterinary Services in Ontario Canada.

I am so glad we did – no SM was detected in her brain at all – what a wonderful health clearance we have!!!   Now, on to breeding her 🙂

Puppies are here

2 Comments

With nothing really happening last night, we decided to go to bed.  I got up every 2 hours to check on her.  While restless, nothing much was happening.

This morning, she woke me up around 6am, and wouldn’t let me out of her sight.  Around 8:45 she started pushing and by 8:58 we had our first baby born safe and sound.  10.2 oz baby girl.

After a quick rest, she gave birth to another girl at 9:31 – this one was a little bigger at 10.9oz.

She rested again and with no assistance whelped her first son – all 11.4 oz of him, at 10:15.

Her fourth and final baby was born at 11:16 – another little boy – 10.9oz.    Yep – 4 puppies in 2 hours and 18 minutes – what a rockstar!

Maddy is a natural momma and she and the pups are dong so well already.  I have to resist the urge to go and pick them up all the time.

I am very excited to see them grow up 🙂

D-Day has arrived – Puppies are on the way

One of the first signs that whelping is imminent is to have a sudden drop in temperature.  I temperature check morning and night from day 58.  I dont want any surprise deliveries.

Maddy’s temperature dropped this morning – she is hanging out with me and in her puppy pen.  Although when I locked her in there, this was her face.  Mommy’s girl do you think?  Ha!

Cant wait to make the announcement of their safe arrival sometime soon 🙂
